Georgetown Sabbath School thrives amid local progress

The Sabbath School at Georgetown is flourishing with two full classes and expectations of further good. Local projects include Mr Christian Swartzbeck building a large brick house and Mr Wilhelm launching a cheese factory with Mr George Hendrickson managing cheese production at five wheels daily. A Sherwood Defiance debate is planned for Saturday June 8 with Mr Wallace Doud and Mr J Miller contending against Messrs Winn and Haymaker.
